Weird Book Club discussion

Welcome everyone! I'm Bryan and I enjoy reading weird books. I'm also a big fan of the podcast 372 Pages We'll Never Get Back, which has upped my reading of weird things.

Hey Bryan, hi everyone else (anyone? New groups are tough). Also a "372" fan and a lover of bad books in particular even before I found the podcast.

I don't go out of my way to try weird "good" books often, but I'm open to suggestions. I've dipped my toes into Carlton Mellick III, goofy weird erotica, self-published madness. I will soon be reading Paradise Logic which certainly has a weird cover.

Welcome and thank you for the post. I read weird books before I knew about 372 Pages. It was Wild Animus, the book written by a venture capitalist that was given out free on college campuses. But 372 definitely ramped upped the weirdness. I’ll check out your suggestions

I've long been aware of Wild Animus, I don't think I've ever seen a copy in the wild though. There used to be a fun bad book podcast (name escapes me at the moment) where the hosts would often joke that you could find a copy of Wild Animus in literally any thrift store, and they advised buying it and then secretly placing it on a friend's bookshelf to see how long it took them to notice.

I put my copy in a free little library. I also donated my copy of Shadow Moon to a school book fair.

Ha ha, The third book in the Shadow Moon trilogy resells for obscene amounts (not over $100 but still). Thankfully it's on Internet Archive, because ... I am going to read the whole trilogy someday soonish. RE-read it actually. I am a book masochist, what can I say.
